in close analogy to what has been discussed in refs.[1]}, [2]}.
Note that the reactive work,
\(\langle W_{\mathrm {reac}} \rangle _{a_1,b_2}\) ,
vanishes both at resonance (\(\delta _{L-bJ} = 0\) ), and arbitrarily far from resonance, \(\delta _{L-bJ} \rightarrow \infty \)  (as expected in dispersive light-matter interactions).
More importantly, it vanishes in the monochromatic limit \(\Delta \rightarrow 0\) , where the self-replication is optimized.
The absorptive work,
\(\langle W_{\mathrm {abs}} \rangle _{a_1,b_2}\) ,
does not depend on \(\Delta \rightarrow 0\) , is maximal at resonance, but also vanishes far from resonance.
This tells us that the far-from-resonance (rare) mutations absorb a vanishingly small amount of work.
